Rolley, that link recommends yoga to relieve stress. Perhaps (to get back to CLH's original point, kinda), novice yoga students could get a quote tattooed above and below their navel (upside down, so they could read it) like this:
To relieve stress,
............@.............
bang head here.
Sure would encourage flexibility.

LeeQuod,
Above the belly-button you say? Was it a dolphin, or a cow? After all, dolphins have no fuzz.
And besides, some folks can't distinguish between the two.

You've got the idea, LeeQuod -- except that I'd be passed out cold before the guy got the first eighth of the "O" in "Ow" finished.

I thought it would be from the Bard:
â€œWrite till your ink be dry, and with your tears
Moist it again, and frame some feeling line
That may discover such integrity.â€
But clearly that's too big. Instead, I envision in a small font, this:
"Ow!"
My favorite tattoo story is from a physician who asked the older patient to disrobe, and saw a tattoo just above their navel.
"Nice whale", he said.
The patient smiled wanly. "Yes - it used to be a dolphin."

Perfect!

What you're forgetting is that Gina is very, very, very, VERY bad at pain. :-)
If I ever get a tattoo, actually, it will be a temporary (i.e., non-painful) tattoo, and this will be the quote:
"I'm not like other people. I can't stand pain. It hurts me." --Daffy Duck
